The Indigenous Community Housing (ICH) data collection captures information about ICH organisations (ICHOs), the dwellings they manage, and tenants assisted. ICHOs include community organisations such as resource agencies and land councils, which may have a range of functions, however, are included in ICH provided that they manage housing for Indigenous people. ICHOs may either directly manage the dwellings they own or sublease tenancy management services to the relevant state/territory housing department or another organisation.
Since 2003–04, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has compiled ICH data from state and territory housing departments on an annual basis. These data help to describe the performance of Indigenous housing programs.
The data collection has evolved over time, including changes to the data collection scope, procedures, data items and underlying definitions and concepts.
